About this file

This is Addendum One to Invitation to Bid No. RFB-65-27 issued by the Commonwealth of Kentucky Department for Facilities and Support Services, Division of Engineering and Contract Administration, for an emergency chiller replacement project at the Adair Youth Development Center operated by the Department of Juvenile Justice in Columbia, Kentucky. The addendum clarifies and modifies specifications and drawings for the project, which includes procurement and installation of an air-cooled chiller system. Key specifications require the contractor to provide and install a temporary chiller within the first 30 days of project start, including all necessary piping and power, with the temporary unit remaining operational until substantial completion. The chiller must include BacNet capabilities to communicate with new mechanical equipment and control the chilled water pump, though the existing control system will be reused without upgrades. The contractor must coordinate temporary chiller flex hose routing in the field with the engineer, with placement on asphalt acceptable in some areas but requiring support in others to avoid interference with entry doors and generator access.

Additional clarifications address existing infrastructure reuse and component specifications. The existing concrete pad for the chiller shall be reused without enlargement for the basis of design chiller; however, if an alternatively proposed chiller exceeds the existing pad dimensions, the contractor bears responsibility for concrete pad enlargement, subject to engineer verification on-site. The chilled water piping shown in the chase is to be reused as it enters and leaves the chase. The air separator must be equal to a Bell & Gossett R-6 unit with strainer, automatic air vent, blow-down valve, and drain piping to the nearest floor drain, with supports and mountings equal to the existing configuration.

A future Controls Project will interface the new equipment with the new controls system.

o The existing concrete pad for the Chiller shall be reused. No new concrete pad enlargement is required for the basis of design Chiller.
